To Media
The FIN-FSA makes available information on the supervised entities’ financial position and regulatory changes, on a regular basis. We are also tasked with the duty of increasing general awareness of the financial markets, of any topical issues of relevance to the public and of new products and services launched on the market.
We publish annually more than 20 press releases and arrange 2–3 press conferences. In addition, our experts publish blogs on matters of topical interest and advertise them on our twitter account Twitter.com/FIN_FSA. We communicate directly with our supervised entities through supervision releases.
Our Market Newsletter addresses, for example, insider issues concerning listed companies and issues related to disclosure requirements and prospectus supervision.

Finnish financial sector's capital position is strong, despite the weaker operating environment - the FIN-FSA is paying particular attention to risk management
The capital position of the Finnish financial sector has remained sound, despite the deterioration of the operating environment. Solvency weakened slightly in the employee pension and banking sectors, but remained strong. In the non-life and life insurance sectors, solvency improved. Due to the changes in the operating environment, the Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA) is paying particular attention to the management of credit, market, liquidity and cyber risks, the functioning of risk management and corporate governance, as well as the fulfilment of the disclosure obligation.Press release
